Chords with lyrics
C majorC G7G7
Sitting alone in an old rocking chair
C majorC
I saw an old mother with silvery hair
FF
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
G7G7
Her hands were all calloused and wrinkled and old
C majorC
A augmentedA life of hard work were the story they told
FF
And I thought of angels as I saw her there
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
G7G7
Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain
C majorC
Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
FF
And carry that cross that is more than her share
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
G7G7
It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
C majorC
Just some small remembrance on somebody's part
FF
A augmentedA letter would brighten her empty life there
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
G7G7
I know some youngsters in an orphan's home
C majorC
Would think they owned heaven if she was their own
FF
They'd never be willing to let her sit there
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
G7G7
I look at her and I think what a shame
C majorC
The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
FF
And I think of angels as I see her there
G7G7 C majorC
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
